I do not know why my edit referring to ETA as a terrorist group is being removed by a biased user. ETA has been classified as a terrorist group by Spain, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the European Union and other states. Hiding this fact is biased and poorly informed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRectificator (talk • contribs) 22:21, 20 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

This article details his activity with ETA but does not say much about why and when he gave up his involvement with the group. It needs a new section and expansion of information on his post-ETA career including his role in the Basque parliament. In the meantime I have changed his designation to a 'former' member of ETA rather than 'historic' because it is better English. One man's freedom fighter (talk) 15:37, 3 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Valenciano. Your "Trial in absentia" comment might be the answer to the concern raised - but it does not say that, let alone with citations, anywhere in this article. The article says he was in French prison, but does not say if the French were just holding him or if he went through a trial in that country (just held him for years. while extradition was being considered?). The article also says that when he was extradited to Spain, the Spanish freed him, but that he was also summoned (at some unspecified moment in time) to the Spanish courts - so, was he tried by Spain in absentia or was he present in Spain for trials, or both at different times? Thus, making the logical assumption of Spanish convictions "in absentia" during his time in France is not yet supported by the contents of this article. Jmg38 (talk) 22:18, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yes, you're right that it's confusing, I read through the article myself and the Spanish version of it, but it is unclear what happened, especially how he managed to flee. (I suspect he got early release on license, but then fled when learning he would face fresh charges, but need to find if that's true and sources.) I will investigate further tomorrow as it's after midnight here. Valenciano (talk) 22:26, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
